Improved Productivity of Document Verification Process Using the Lean Sigma Method

Abstract

In the industrial era 4.0 emerged smart companies using the concept of automation and digitization. This has had an impact on printing companies which are experiencing a decline in the global rate of newspaper growth in the next five years. Therefore, many companies conduct Improvement and Innovation activities and eliminate waste in order to continue to survive and be able to compete. This research aims to identify the types of waste that occur in the flow of the process of activities, analyze the factors that cause waste, as well as provide proposals for minimizing waste. The method used in this study is lean sigma which is a combination of lean and six sigma to identify and eliminate waste in an effort to improve the continuous improvement process. In this study conducted with Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) stage in accordance with the steps in Six Sigma. This research is focused on improving the productivity of continuous improvement verification process with lean sigma method.
